Johnny Appleseed Days Weekend 10/3-4












The town of Paradise celebrates Johnny Appleseed Days, every year, at the end of the apple harvest. The three of us ventured up the hill to Paradise on Saturday to check out the festivities. We met Johnny, listened to his story, played carnival games, and bought a caramel apple for Katya (which she says has loosened two teeth that shouldn't be loose as their predecessors have already been shed). Ross got into the spirit of things once he found the coffee booth.








On another note, Autumn has definitely arrived. The lows are in the high 40's with day time temperatures in the mid 70's. On Sunday, Katya and I took a walk through the US Forest Service Genetic Resource Center & Conservation Camp. Katya collected acorn caps & pine cones and we discovered a grove of vanilla scented Ponderosa Pines. I took a few pictures of the persimmons, as they are a highly photogenic fruit.

  2. Photogenic is about all. Although I heard the doctor enjoys eating them with a little green left in the skin...
